The CPC SIG Committee unified thought, conducted planning and made arrangements at the earliest possible time, established the leading group on "four histories" learning and education with the Secretary of the CPC SIG Committee as the head, the Vice Secretary and Secretary for the Discipline Inspection Commission as the deputy heads. Under the leading group is an office responsible for the overall arrangement and coordination of "four histories" learning and education in SIG.
